The Octopus NET S2-4 device supports up to four satellite LNB
inputs, either from legacy LNBs or Unicable channel-stacking
LNBs. The MaxLinear MxL584 single chip receiver IC is able to
receive and capture the complete L-Band spectrum on each input
and enables simultaneous selection of up to eight DVB-S2/SD
channels. The selected channels are then converted to IP and
streamed to other devices over the local area network. Smart TVs
and smartphones, tablets or computers can access the TV content
via a simple software application.

“The MaxLinear single-chip satellite receiver has enabled us
to significantly reduce the size and power consumption of our
previous generation product,” said Dieter Rimmele, Head of
Development at Digital Devices GmbH. “Because the MxL584
integrates an eight-channel front-end in a single device, we
were able to reduce the cost and complexity of our Octopus Net
product, while maintaining the high performance and reliability
our customers have come to expect.”

“MaxLinear continues to reduce power and cost in our
customers’ products through innovation and integration” said
Brian Sprague, MaxLinear’s Vice President and General Manager.
“The MxL584 is a terrific example of how our Full-Spectrum
Capture technology is enabling multi-room, multi-screen TV
viewing at a price point that consumers can afford.”

Technical Highlights – MxL584

The MxL584 device supports up to four separate L-Band
satellite inputs, and up to eight serial transport stream
outputs. The MxL584 integrates all active front-end components,
including the low-noise amplifiers (LNA). The high level of
integration enables ultra-compact, low-cost system solutions
with minimal external components.

The low-power and power-control flexibility of the MxL584
device provides compliance with the requirements of Energy Star
and the European Code of Conduct for Digital TV Services and
Broadband Equipment, in both standby and full operating modes.

The MxL584 is currently in mass production and available in a
very low cost 10mm x 10mm QFN package. It is pin-compatible and
software-compatible with the MxL544 device, which provides up to
four transport stream outputs.
